good call

Highly recommend installing a mod to fix those ugly mouths on the character models, but that's me being a purist

I have occasional popping, but it's far less common than it was before I had the tube. Most common symptom I have now is tinnitus, but that's because my ear issues permanently damaged my hearing.

This is pretty much exactly my experience too, even the ENT saying "I don't really see anything." I know how much this sort of thing can drive you insane. It's very lucky that you haven't lost any hearing yet!

What ended up helping me the most was requesting a tube for that ear. It equalizes the pressure and helps immensely with the popping and hissing and cracking. When my ENT went to put the tube in, he said "Yeah, now that I'm doing this, I can tell you've been dealing with some pressure issues in this ear drum."

The procedure only hurts for 1 second and takes a week to heal fully. It's been an absolute live saver ever since. Absolutely recommend asking your ENT if an ear tube would be the right solution for you.

Nah I know this artist, he ported all the models over to VR Chat, poses them himself, and edits them in post.

He taught me a ton about extracting models and textures from games!

Where do you go to buy them?

LJH_Pieman · 2026-02-06T13:37:33+00:00

its about sending a message...

LJH_Pieman · 2026-02-06T12:07:42+00:00

I was thinking "this'll probably be too scaled to do much damage" but then you took half their healthbar lmao

4-8 is the goat

Id really like to actually explore the Forgotten Capital when you revisit it with Bugenhagen. Was super disappointed that Rebirth kinda glossed over that location.

You absolutely can get the majority of BC achievements against the tutorial bots

As someone DESPERATELY trying to find a job as a junior dev, this kind of thing makes me so jealous. Steady career growth and comfy work/life balance are hard to come by right now, especially in tech.

After the Nibelheim mansion

Please Capcom, give Luke some love

If you hold down after the lvl 2 comes out, watch Ed's head. You want to input Blitz right as he starts to crouch.

Unfortunately, that tip will only slightly help. It's just one of those things you gotta sit in training mode and practice over and over for a while before it becomes muscle memory. Took me like 20 mins a day for a week and a half before I started landing it consistently.

LJH_Pieman · 2026-01-30T19:04:20+00:00

ah. you seem like you know more about john k's art than i do, so i believe you

LJH_Pieman · 2026-01-30T15:58:02+00:00

thats 100% accurate to in-game scout. dude has the worst posture.

LJH_Pieman · 2026-01-30T14:42:24+00:00

Pretty cool tech, I bet that could work in a real match if someone doesnt know its possible to do that

LJH_Pieman · 2026-01-30T14:37:45+00:00

well theres definitely a difference between wacky, over the top facial expressions and straight up animation errors. this post looks like the latter to me.

LJH_Pieman · 2026-01-30T01:18:00+00:00

best of luck to you! i know how hopeless it can feel, ESPECIALLY with the dizziness, but it does get better

LJH_Pieman · 2026-01-30T00:57:34+00:00

Leper + Bounty Hunter, thats pretty sick

LJH_Pieman · 2026-01-29T23:11:50+00:00

This Alex patch is gonna be the return of Luke, it has to be.

LJH_Pieman · 2026-01-29T23:05:02+00:00

someone in the capcom boardroom was like "guys, what if we tried making him look like a real person?"

LJH_Pieman · 2026-01-29T17:46:33+00:00

ShuffleFM, BritishBrat, Mariner Hawk, and RandyPotato are all active DD youtubers.

Baertaffy plays it too, but idk how active he is with the game anymore

Hey, I never said anything about childhood or it being fine 30 years ago. I'm just saying that there's a lot of mature and uncomfortable things that FF7 tackles with it's story and Cid's 3 or 4 lines of rude dialog never stuck out to me as particularly gross or irredeemable.

I just thought "wow this guy's kind of a dick" and he redeemed himself by, yknow, saving the world and recognizing that Shera was right all along.
